Finally. Having spent enough time on C-130s during the preceding two weeks to have worn grooves into the back of my thighs, I am now fairly convinced that the Kriminalmuseum is the sole-source for USAF passenger seating. Close Gitmo and load all the li'l darlin's on a C-130 for an eight-time-zone trip. By the time they get halfway to the Azores, the interrogators will be hollering for more notepads... But I digress. As usual. Got home from Kirkuk via Kuwait at midnight on Monday, scraped the scrup'ls off after half an hour of managing to pet all four of them simultaneously,... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/12/wowf_finally.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/12/wowf_finally.html Thu, 20 Dec 2007 00:31:49 -0600 Comment from Cricket on 2007-12-23 It is if the digital-murican emigrated from the Mind of Gates. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/12/wowf_finally.html#comment-67867 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/12/wowf_finally.html#comment-67867 Sun, 23 Dec 2007 13:31:40 -0600 Comment from WereKitten on 2007-12-20 Vibration.. 8 hour flight.. soldiers.. more vibration.. and nothing to do?
